You know I've never looked at Catholicism as a superior religion to Protesto-Catholicism, the branch of Catholicism that people call Protestants.
....but Protestants are the Antifa of the pious. They got sick of Catholicism, right? Good for them, plenty of intelligent people do.
...but instead of moving over to Orthodoxy or if they wanted to be really grass-roots becoming Koptic Christians and living actually in both the realm of and syle of the Nazarean, Protestants start their own little version of Catholicism and manage to preserve little of the virtues of their parent religion while maintaining most of the hubris.
The Protestant parts of Europe are the crappy parts. Nords, failing to perservere in the faith that they accepted, slid back to their viking roots and changed the name of Thor to Calvin.
Protestants don't have the stones to go preach someplace dangerous like ancient Japan or Fiji. Instead they woo the lazier Catholics.
While most kind and intelligent people mistrust Catholics, no one has managed to become better than a Catholic while simultaneously hating Catholics.
